UNITED STATES PATENT oFF cs John A. Castricon'e, Peoria, 111., assignor Alton-fer Bros. Company, Peoria, 111., a corporation of'lllinois My invention relates to coverings for. the padded rolls of ironing machines.

One of the objects of my invention is in the provision of an asbestos com-position cover for the padded. roll of a domestic ironer machine, said cover being so constructed and arranged as to permit ready assembly, as well as giving a finished appearance to the roll.

Another object of my invention is in a composition covering for domestic ironer rolls, the same having secured thereto muslin end portions which give when in assembled relationship a smooth and finished appearance to the roll.

Still another object of my invention is in the I fashioning of a composition roll cover for ironing rolls wherein fabric prtions are sewed to the roll cover in such a manner that the ends of the roll are given a smooth and finished appearance.

Another object is the provision of a roll cover for. domestic ironers, the same comprising a sheet of asbestos composition conforming to the length of the roll to be covered, and muslin and pieces sewed to the asbestos composition cover in such manner that the muslin portions are drawn over the ends of the roll and tied interiorly' oi the roll, with the result that a neat and the following specification when taken in connection with the annexed drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of my roll cover with attached fabric end portions; g

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an ironer roll I showing the finished appearance given to the end of the roll when the ironer cover is used.

Before referring specifically to the drawing it might be well to explain that asbestos composition covers for padded ironer rolls have been known and used for a considerable period of time. These covers are almost universally used upon the conventional padded roll of domestic ironing machines. 4 4

These covers usuallyare constructed in a single sheet of asbestos composition, the sheet being somewhat wider than the roll, with the result that the ends of the asbestos composition sheet are forced around the ends of the roll and se-- cured by corded portions tied interiorly of the roll.

The disadvantages attending the use of this cover are due to the fact that the asbestos composition sheet is brittle and diflicultto bend Application a 29, 19:7, SerialNo.145,447

That portion of the sheet l0 which lies immediately adjacent the ends of the roll and which portion isnormally bent around the ends of the roll has sewn or otherwise attached thereto as at H, a muslin strip of material i2. Fig. 2 is perhaps the clearest disclosure of the manner of attaching the muslin portion to sheet l0; same being folded in the manner shown clearly in Fig. 2, in order that the attachment cord l3 maybe readily and easily contained therein.

. The simplicity .of applicant's construction is I apparent and in Fig. 3 appllcants cover is shown '11: attached and operative position upon the'ironer roll. Here we find the brittle composition sheet l0 having its edges coinciding with the ends of the ironer roll. The flexible muslin end pieces are neatly folded about the ends of the roll and securely tied together by means of the cords H3 at points interiorly of the roll.

Although a pen and ink drawing does not set forth in the clearest manner the neat appearance given to the ends of the ironer roll when using applicants cover, nevertheless, it will be apparent that a finished appearance is given to the roll, rather than that appearance which would and does naturally result from the folding or bending of the brittle asbestos sheet about the ends of the roll.

It is believed that the manner of using applicants cover has been clearlyset forth and that any further description of the use or operation of same is entirely unnecessary.

I claim: r

1. In an ironing machine roll cover, a sheet of asbestos composition material having a length substantially greater than the circumference of the roll and a width substantially equal to the length of the roll, looped sections of flexible material such as muslin of a length substantially equal tothe circumference of the roll, stitched to the sides of the roll cover from one end thereof and parallel to thesurface of the roll with all edges turned inward from the roll cover surface and taut cords within the loops whereby the roll cover may be applied to the roll without bending the fire-proof material over the roll ends.

2. In an ironing machine roll cover, a. sheet of scorch resistant composition, said sheet being approximately the width of the ironer r011 length and approximately 50% longer than the circumference of the roll, shirr loops of muslin or the like of a length approximately the diame- JOHN A.
